The Royals signed catcher Miguel olivo today....do you think Dayton has a trade in the works that includes Buck or do you think they are satisfied with this tandem in 08.... they are very similar players who both throw out around 34% of base stealers....and can hit for some pop...Buck does not like to walk but Olivo really does not like to walk....what do you think?

While hitting .220
And I'm being completely serious, not sarcastic. I would love to see Buck put up a .230/.280/.475 line in 600 PAs.

Buck may only hit 220 or 230 but if he shows the power is legit and puts up 25 HR's then I bet he gets a few more walks and gets that OBP up to 300.
Beats the hell out of Olivo's 230 average with 10 HRs.
This may be more tied to Olivo's being a better game caller and to help the pitching staff which I understand from KC perspective.

Olivo
with his SLG over those 2 years being pretty close to Buck's .429
I'm not good with park factors and such, but I would assume that with Olivo leaving Dolphin Stadium, this will only help his SLG
(no argument on the lack of walking though...)
